Weekend NintyBeats – Dia De Los Muertos Edition

The music of Nintendo games make them truly remarkable and memorable. To show our love of the music, every Friday we share a selection of tracks from various Nintendo titles, new and old.

It’s nearly that time of year once again, when tiny ghosts and ghouls roams the streets to fill up on treats. This is also the time of year to celebrate those who we have lost in Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), so we thought we might share with you all some pieces of music to set this mood.

Be prepared for NintyBeats Dia De Los Muertos Edition after the break!

REVIEW – Super Mario Maker

2015 marks the 30th anniversary of Mario. For thirty years, the Italian plumber has been abusing turtles, eating mushrooms, and saving princesses.

Weekend NintyBeats — The Third Legendary Mega Snake Party

The music of Nintendo games make them truly remarkable and memorable. To show our love of the music, every Friday we share a selection of tracks from various Nintendo titles, new and old.

This week’s NintyBeats is unique. Not only are all three pieces from third-party titles, they are also all total rip-offs of James Bond. Not that that’s a bad thing. From James Bond in the jungle, to James Bond in a factory, to James Bond underwater, all three represent different perspectives of Bond rip-offery…
